Course content
The educational discipline "Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics" aims to provide students with knowledge of the basic physical properties of materials used in nanoelectronics. Students will become familiar with the physical principles of the functioning of the main elements of nanoelectronics, such as nanotransistors, quantum wells, nanowires, quantum dots and molecular electronic devices, and will consider the basic methods of analyzing the properties of nanoscale materials, in particular, atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy and optical methods. In addition, students will explore various approaches to controlling the properties of nanoelectronic materials, such as band engineering, nanolithography, etc. As a result, students will be able to understand the basic properties of materials in nanoelectronics, which will allow them to use this knowledge in various fields, such as information technology.
